I’ve been swimming a lot lately (well, a lot for ME) because of my bum foot. It’s been going pretty well. So that got me thinking.............

But first, I should let you know that I went on 2 runs this week! These were the first real runs since the Liberty Triathlon 4 weeks ago. And guess what? Both were successful!! Well, “successful” in the sense that my foot didn’t hurt.

Here I am stretching after my 5 miler on Tuesday. The cats were helping. And Kermit engulfed my sweaty, smelly shirt as soon as I got home:

Wednesday, I swam a lap around Square Lake with Kelly (that's about 3200 yards). It was my first lap around the lake without my wetsuit, and it was beautiful!!

And on Thursday, I did a 6 mile run. That run felt a little “heavy,” but my foot still felt OK! So I think I’m back to running and biking again!

That brings me back to all the swimming I’ve been doing.............

I registered for my first ever swim event that will take place next Sunday!! I’ll be doing a 2.5 K open water swim at Lake Harriet. Swimming buddies Julia and Steve H are doing it too. Should be a fun new experience!!

I never knew there were events specific for open water swimming until recently, and the more I've been lake swimming the more I want to do one. I wonder if their really competitive, or more like laid-back bike rides. You'll have to let us know. Have fun!

WTG Steve!!! :-) If you lived closer to Vegas, I would have encouraged you and to do Slam the Dam OWS at Lake Mead (8K or 1.2mi or 2.4 mi OR Grand Slam: 8K + 1.2mi OR Super Slam 2.4 + 1.2). Think you can do it? LOL!
